Abstract

The thin fluid films that are in equilibrium with a bulk phase are studied by a computer simulation. A disjoining pressure, whose value oscillates with the change in the distance between two boundary surfaces, is shown to occur in this system. The nature of this phenomenon is associated with the oscillating contribution from the short range repulsive forces.
